Wolverhampton Wanderers have had a mixed start to the season, but blowing a 2-0 lead at Ipswich Town to lose 3-2 and crash out of the EFL Cup on Tuesday was a low point for Gary O’Neil’s men.
Saturday sees them host Manchester City, who arrive having also exited the EFL Cup, losing 1-0 at Newcastle United on Wednesday.
City are top of the Premier League as the only team with a 100% record, though, and are looking to become just the third side to win each of their opening seven matches in a season in the competition, after eventual champions Chelsea in 2005-06 (first nine) and Liverpool in 2019-20 (first eight).
It would be the first time City have managed to win their first seven games of a top-flight season, Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering team have accumulated 71 points in the Premier League in 2023, 16 more than anyone else (W23 D2 L3).
Head-to-Head:
Man City have won their last three Premier League away games against Wolves, as many as they’d managed in their previous 12 league visits to Molineux (D2 L7).
Last season saw City win both games 3-0, with their last trip to Wolverhampton in September 2022 including goals from Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.
Match Date and Kickoff Time:
The game would kickoff at exactly 3 p.m. on Saturday.
